When I look back on my career of being an educator I want to see more than the students that I had in class but also the educators I supported. Create a place where educators can Explore the reaches of their support to inform student exploration. Create extensions of educating moments in and out of the classroom. Imagine more and more possibilities to inspire all learners to continue to learn, iterate, and aspire to be the best they can be.

Session description

In this interactive session, we will identify the stressors that math brings, and engage learners in a warm-up, problem solver, and small group discussion. Filling the room with words, phrases, and the right questions is important for learning math. Mistakes are celebrated, and there may be stickers to win.

Purpose & objective

All activities have been practiced in multi-level classrooms with both students with and without disabilities.
Students will utilize both technology and non-technology forms of communication while in partners, and small groups.
In the classrooms this has been used in there has been an increase in notetaking skills, communication, thought-provoking questions, and increased test scores including growth on revisions and retakes.
